Your use of addr:unit looks correct here, I don't believe it needs to be
subdivisions of a single building. You could have villa style townhouses
where each dwelling is a separate building on a single site, where each
building has it's own addr:unit and they all share the same
addr:housenumber.

We should update the wiki to describe this as a valid scenario.
